1/II - 1921.
Comrade Frumkin! We are receiving (both from without and from within) ever more reports of a completely inadmissible "independence" of Ukraine in the affairs of the People's Commissariat of Food.

You must get to the bottom of the complete truth, which is clearly being hidden from us (in part, probably inadvertently, by those who connive with those who are intentionally concealing it). This is a serious matter, and we will not let it rest; we will learn the truth in full.

The role of Peshekhonov (worse than any White Guard), who was clearly pulling the wool over the eyes of the Ukrainian Cheka (we do not yet know through whom he was doing this, but we will find out), we will expose to the end.
